A bucksaw is a hand-powered frame saw^[1] similar to bow saw and generally used with a sawbuck^[2] to cut logs or firewood to length (bucking). Modern bucksaws usually have a metal frame ("H"^[3] or C-shaped) and a removable blade with coarse teeth held in tension by the frame. Lightweight portable or foldable models used for camping or back-packing are also available. It is often referred to as a bow saw in the North American hardware market, but that term traditionally refers to a different type of saw with a wooden frame.
